The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Saint Ancarus!" Seeing the black tattoo on Leo's back, Sylvia couldn't help shouting out the holy name of the Lord of the Sky. When she grew up, she had forcibly changed her beliefs, and she still couldn't help saying the holy name of the Lord of the Sky habitually when she was extremely shocked.

"Are the tattoos on the back scary?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's not scary at all, and it's very..." Sylvia seemed to be unable to describe what she saw, searching for possible adjectives in her mind, but even this still couldn't describe what happened, and in the end I can only use the simplest adjective and say: "Very beautiful! Indescribably beautiful!"

"Is there a mirror? Let me see!" Leo said with some hesitation when he saw Sylvia's expression.

Hearing this, Sylvia immediately went to the bedroom and found a hand mirror. After walking out, she took a picture of Leo's back. Something to marvel at, and something that stunned him.

Because the tattoo behind him is no longer fixed on his body as before, it is moving like a living thing, and its shape is very familiar to Leo, it is actually the star map of the origin nebula.

The origin nebula is the seat of the supreme council of the universe. It is said that it is the center of the universe, where time and space are static, and only Omega-level advanced life forms can move there, and ordinary people enter there without any protective measures. Under normal circumstances, he will return to the original zero matter of the universe under the action of the nebula. Even if the life form of Omega is almost eternal, it is impossible to stay there for a long time.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the handling of affairs by the Supreme Council, although the residence of the Supreme Council is in the Origin Nebula, the office of the Supreme Council is outside the Origin Nebula.

For the Earth Federation, the Origin Nebula is definitely a place of fascination, but the Earth Federation is not yet qualified to enter the Origin Nebula, but this does not hinder the enthusiasm of the Earth Federation people for the Origin Nebula, so there are a lot of information about the Origin Nebula in the Earth Federation Information, and the astrology map of the origin nebula on Leo's back is the most widely circulated information. In order to obtain this information, the Earth Federation had to sell a remodeled colonial star.

Just as Sylvia was unable to describe the beauty of the Nebula of Origin, even the poet who is best at creating beautiful poetry in the Earth Federation could not describe the beauty of the Nebula of Origin.

Although the time and space of the origin nebula are static, there is a special substance called zero matter in the origin nebula. This kind of matter does not seem to be limited by time and space, and condenses into countless star clusters in the origin nebula. The stars, and wander around irregularly, every time they walk and change, they will form a star map that any species in the universe will feel extremely gorgeous when they look at it.

The star map obtained by the Earth Federation is a holographic image that records the changes of the nebula for fifty-seven years, and even this real-time recorded holographic image cannot record one ten-thousandth of the beauty of the main nebula of origin. Anyone who has been to the nebula of origin Everyone will feel as if they have experienced a spiritual baptism, and anyone who has seen the astrology map of the Origin Nebula will naturally enter a peaceful and peaceful state.

It is also officially because the astrology map of the Origin Nebula has the effect of calming the emotions of creatures, so on a spaceship with a long-term flight mission like a trans-galaxy spacecraft, the astrology map of the Origin Nebula is played the most, which is why Leo can see it for the first time. Just recognize the reason why the tattoo on your back is what it is.

"What is this? Do you know it?" Sensing the change in Leo's expression, Sylvia couldn't help asking, "Why do I feel so...so...peaceful and calm when I see this pattern?"

"This is the star map of the Origin Nebula." Leo replied without hiding anything.

Sylvia asked puzzledly, "Origin Nebula? What is that?"

Leo opened his mouth, and didn't know how to answer for a while, because he found that if he explained the origin nebula to Sylvia, then he needed to give Sylvia a complete cosmology course. The entire course takes more than two hours, and the study takes at least thirty years.

Seeing Leo like this, Sylvia also noticed Leo's difficulty, so she shook her head and said, "Forget it, you don't need to tell me and there is no need to know this."

After finishing speaking, she handed the clothes that Leo had just taken off to Leo, and watched with some reluctance as Leo put the clothes back on, covering the astrology map of the Nebula of Origin on his back.

"Is this caused by Night God's sighing and broken pages?" Sylvia asked again.

"It should be." Leo nodded, followed by doubts, and said, "But why did this thing appear?"

Leo felt that the aggregate of consciousness produced by Ye Shen's sigh and the broken pages merged into his body, and at the same time shared part of his memory, probably the deepest memory, that's why it became the form of Lilith, and the origin Nebula's astrology map is also part of his deepest memory, so the tattoo on his back that produces the power of nightmares has this change.

Although Leo made what he thought was the most reasonable guess, he felt that things might not be as simple as guessed.

Leo didn't spend too much energy on the things that he couldn't figure out. He put aside the things that he couldn't figure out for the time being, and waited for time to think about them slowly. What he needs to do most now is to find out as soon as possible. Whether the body has undergone unknown changes due to absorbing the remaining pages of Ye Shen's sigh.

For the next two days, Leo stayed in the room, carefully checking every detail of himself, but he never found any. He only felt that the total amount and recovery speed of the power of nightmare were much higher than before. From this point of view, it is very beneficial to him. After all, if he wants to cast many spells quickly, he needs to use the power of nightmare to imitate the special mana required by the spell.

While Leo was checking his situation, Alto, who was informed by Leo, came to the manor and moved the stone pillar back to Fringilla's manor. While studying the magic circle of elves in the manor, he Do some preliminary arrangements, such as arranging a confinement circle, so that when the monsters are summoned, the monsters can be controlled.

Without being able to check the specific situation of Chu's body, Leo didn't make any more demands. He got the news from Fringilla and knew that the confinement circle had been set up there, so he rushed to the place with Sylvia. Fringilla's manor.

At this moment, in Fringilla's manor, there are not only two warlocks, Fringella and Alto, but also Geralt, Regil, and Milva. They heard that Fringilla intends to After summoning monsters through the magic circle left by the elven kingdom, he rushed over to see if he could help.

Geralt, who had known what Fringilla was going to do for a long time, did not agree with the method of summoning monsters from time to time, and persuaded Fringilla, but after confirming that his persuasion was useless, he didn't say anything.

Regil was purely curious about summoning monsters from other worlds. Although he had known for a long time that mages in the elf kingdom had the ability to summon monsters from another world, he had never seen it before. This kind of power has also disappeared, and what Leo and Fringilla are doing now is nothing more than restoring the legacy of the ancient elf kingdom to him.

As for Milva, Angulan, and Cassirer, they are all here to help, even if they feel that they can't help much, but in Fringilla's view, these people's plans to watch the fun are far from enough. Dodge the idea of ​​helping.

When Leo and Silvia arrived, the few people didn't talk nonsense, and directly stood in the pre-arranged positions according to their research.

Geralt and his men stood in the peripheral area, mainly to prevent monsters from getting out of confinement, and they didn't necessarily let them destroy the monsters, but let them hold the monsters until other people freed up their hands to deal with them.

Aalto himself doesn't have much actual combat experience. He is responsible for promoting the summoning magic circle and the confinement magic circle in a pre-arranged defensive magic circle. magic circle.

And Sylvia and Fringilla were not far away from him, not only monitoring the audience, but also guarding Aalto.

Only Leo, who had put on the Abyss Walker armor and weapon, stood in the middle of the garden, the core area of ​​the elf magic circle. According to their deduction, once the summoning magic circle is activated, those monsters from other worlds will definitely appear in the core area. , so Leo is also on the front line.

After everything was ready, Alto inserted the magic wand in his hand into a groove with an Elvish pattern on the ground, and at the same time injected the mana from his body into the magic circle through the stick, and rays of light flowed along the magic circle. The pattern spread to the surroundings, and soon spread to the entire manor.

Fortunately, Fringilla drove away the servants in advance, and used illusions around the manor to create an illusion of the manor to cover up what was happening in the manor. Otherwise, before the monster appeared later, I am afraid that the light It is enough to attract the attention of the whole Bauclan.

"It's started!" Alto, who controlled the magic circle, sensed the current operation of the magic circle, and immediately shouted at Leo.

Almost at the same time Alto shouted, a portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere not far from Leo, followed by a huge monster with the shape of an insect but almost three meters high crawling through the portal. out.

Before it could see the surrounding situation clearly, a big sword fell on its head, cutting off its head directly, but at the same time, the monster that lost its head did not die, and was still trying to fly to get out, but then another big sword directly split it in half.

Seeing that Leo had dealt with a monster neatly, Fringira couldn't help shouting at Leo's body: "Damn it! Don't waste it like this, try to cut off its limbs so that it can't move. It's better to live than to die." before!"

Hearing Fringilla's shout, Leo didn't answer, but just shook the abyss sword in his hand as a response.

Then the previous portal did not disappear, and five or six portals appeared around it, and various monsters came out of the portal one after another. Except for the insect-like monster at the beginning, the other portals drilled out. It's been mentioned in the monster hunter books.

For example, monsters such as Fint monster, Howler monster, Hut monster, deer head spirit and so on, and there is even a portal that will protrude some elemental monsters from time to time.

Although monsters came out of the portal one after another, Leo was able to handle it with ease. His moving speed was so fast that almost the monster had just passed through the portal. Standing on the ground here, Leo's abyss sword would These monsters were beheaded on the spot, and they never escaped from his hands. Soon, hundreds of monsters died under his abyss sword, and the corpses of various monsters were piled up around the portal. It almost blocked the entrance and exit of the portal.

The people around were all stunned watching Leo's performance alone. Except for Aalto, they felt that they were completely redundant here.

Whether it is a person who has seen Leo fight before, or a person who has not seen Leo fight, they all have only one thought in their minds, that is, Leo's strength is too strong, so powerful that it is completely inhuman. This kind of inhuman even far surpasses the witcher.

Originally, the demon hunter was very confident in his swordsmanship, and thought that if he only relied on swordsmanship, Leo might not be able to compare with himself, but now seeing Leo is like mowing grass, killing those he needs to spend After experiencing a lot of monsters that were laid out in advance and fought desperately, he clearly realized that his swordsmanship and strength were far from being comparable to Leo's.

At this moment, Leo suddenly shouted at them: "Something is leaking, be careful!"

Hearing Leo's shout, everyone immediately returned from the shocked state to the fighting state. They carefully observed the surroundings, but they didn't see what Leo said was missing.

At this moment, a burst of energy sparks suddenly erupted at the edge of the confinement circle that had been arranged in advance, followed by a vague human figure appearing. It seems that the fish that slipped through the net should be in an invisible state.

Geralt and Sylvia, who reacted the fastest, rushed out almost at the same time, then waved their long swords in coordination and slashed at the invisible figure.

The invisible figure realized that he was exposed, and immediately retreated from the edge of the confinement circle, re-entering the invisible state, but at this time, Sylvia's and Geralt's long swords had blocked all the invisible man's evasive areas. position, so he can only resist hard.

Two metallic sharp claws appeared out of nowhere, blocking the long swords they swung. At the same time, the invisible man couldn't maintain his hidden body, showing his prototype in front of everyone.
